The role of white matter microstructure in the association between childhood maltreatment and adult post-traumatic symptoms

Childhood Trauma's Hidden Scar: How it Rewires the Brain and Fuels Adult Distress. Childhood trauma can alter the brain's white matter, a crucial communication network, which in turn may increase the risk of adult post-traumatic symptoms.

Sex differences in the efficacy, acceptability, and tolerability of antipsychotics in people with acute schizophrenia: individual participant data pairwise, dose-response, and network meta-analyses

We found no evidence of sex differences in the efficacy (real-world effectiveness in the trial) or overall adverse event profiles, and no different dose-response relationships, for the drugs studied. However, we found some evidence that, among females, antipsychotics reduce all-cause dropout more, and increase antipsychotic-induced prolactin elevation versus placebo (inactive comparison treatment), as compared with males.

Consistent Daily Routines Cut Pain, Depression in Older Adults

Consistent daily routines may offer older adults a simple way to reduce pain and depression. This suggests a simple, accessible behavioral intervention—maintaining regular schedules for sleep, meals, and activities—could significantly improve quality of life for older adults.

Rethinking University Mental Health for the AI Era: From Crisis Response to Core Mission

Reframing student mental health as core to the mission of universities justifies investment in digitally enabled care. With appropriate guardrails, AI can be integrated as a regulated component of this ecosystem, extending the reach of effective interventions while maintaining safety, equity, and institutional accountability.

Youth-Caregiver Discordance in Psychiatric Diagnosis and Clinical Problems in the ABCD Study

This cohort study using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study examines youth-caregiver diagnostic discordance for a range of diagnoses longitudinally across developmental stages. Published in JAMA psychiatry, these peer-reviewed psychiatry findings provide quantitative evidence to inform clinical risk stratification, therapeutic decision-making, and follow-up trial design.

Comparative efficacy and tolerability of pharmacological interventions for the acute treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder across the lifespan: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Clomipramine showed the largest estimated efficacy (real-world effectiveness in the trial) for obsessive-compulsive disorder but had a lower tolerability than SSRIs. The evidence of its superiority over individual SSRIs was more pronounced in children and adolescents.

AI and the Irreplaceable in Clinical Psychiatry-In Defense of Essential Standards of Practice

This Viewpoint describes the importance of continuing clinician care, especially for patients with severe mental illness, as AI is integrated into psychiatry. Published in JAMA psychiatry, these peer-reviewed psychiatry findings provide quantitative evidence to inform clinical risk stratification, therapeutic decision-making, and follow-up trial design.

Comparative efficacy and acceptability of antidepressants in the long-term treatment of major depressive disorder: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Antidepressants can differ in their efficacy (real-world effectiveness in the trial) for achieving sustained response and in their acceptability. These findings can inform the shared decision making for patients, prescribers, and carers in real-world practice.

Dialogical therapy plus treatment as usual versus treatment as usual in adults with distressing and persistent auditory hallucinations in the UK (Talking with Voices-II): a randomised controlled trial

TwV significantly improves personal recovery, showing efficacy (real-world effectiveness in the trial) for individuals with SMHPs who experience distressing voices. Further research comparing TwV with an active control and evaluating its implementation in routine care settings is warranted.

GluD1 modulates GluN2B-containing NMDAR function and plasticity at subicular synapses

Understanding this mechanism will guide the development of therapeutic strategies that selectively target GluD1-dependent modulation of NMDAR subtypes in brain disease. In vivo, region-specific GluD1 deficiency in the ventral subiculum disrupted long-term contextual memory, indicating a critical role for GluD1 in cognitive processes.

From discovery to proof: a Translation Evidence Map for precision psychiatry

The Personal View discusses examples spanning inflammatory and circuit-based depression stratification, psychosis relapse monitoring, and suicidality monitoring, illustrating how the Map makes claim maturity, stopping points, stakeholder roles, and trade-offs important to patients explicit. Precision psychiatry aims to improve individual-patient decisions by measuring clinically meaningful heterogeneity, not by privileging any one data type, biomarker (measurable biological signal), or analytical method.

Bioinformatic investigation of convergent proteins and cellular functions downstream of autism-associated genes

This framework provides a molecular basis for understanding autism pathophysiology and identifies promising targets for intervention in the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders. Remarkably, these computationally predicted targets have been independently validated in human genetics and autism research, demonstrating that network-based convergent vulnerability analysis successfully identifies critical nodes where diverse genetic insults disrupt coordinated cellular responses.
